Description

When a man is discovered dead in the stocks of a quiet English village, the apparent oddity of the crime draws Inspector Hannasyde and amateur sleuth Giles Carrington into an investigation filled with family tensions and concealed motives. As they question the eccentric household connected to the victim, long-buried secrets and conflicting loyalties begin to surface. Blending a classic country-house mystery with sharp social observation, lively dialogue, and an irresistibly witty cast of characters, the novel showcases Georgette Heyer’s distinctive talent for both suspense and comedy.
